06:00:30 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:00:30 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:00:30   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:00:30 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:00:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:00:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:00:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:00:31 Dome is MaxDome
06:00:31 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:00:31 Imager is ASCOM
06:00:31 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:00:31 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240412@055622 UTC
06:00:31 Imager readout modes:
06:00:31   0 is Fast
06:00:32   1 is Normal
06:00:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:00:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:00:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:00:32 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:00:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:00:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:00:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:00:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:00:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:00:32 ==== Starting target IX_Dra ====
06:00:32 ACPS Observation IX_Dra(1 of 1)
06:00:32   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P153_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan IX_Dra)
06:00:32   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:00:32 Pointing updates are enabled
06:00:32 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:00:32   Start slew to IX_Dra...
06:00:33   (wait for slew to complete)
06:01:33   (slew complete)
06:01:33     [flip check:  Tn=660s HAc=-21240s GW=T HAz=-20580s DWz=T WF=no]
06:01:33   Updating pointing...
06:01:33   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:01:33   Focus change of -270 steps required
06:01:37   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:01:37   (using Fast readout mode)
06:01:37   (starting exposure)
06:02:01   (exposure complete)
06:02:03   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:02:04   Image finished
06:02:04   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:02:05   397 image stars found
06:02:05   307 catalog stars found
06:02:07   Solved! 103 stars matched.
06:02:07   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
06:02:07   Pointing error is 0.650 arcmin @ angle 151.50
06:02:07   True focal length is 3466.8 mm.
06:02:07   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
06:02:07   True image center (J2000): 18h 12m 34.7s   67° 04' 11.51"
06:02:07   Imager sky position angle is 179.3 deg.
06:02:07   [sync] pointing model updated
06:02:07   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
06:02:07   Target is now centered.
06:02:07   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:02:07   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:02:07   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
06:02:07   Focus change of 290 steps required
06:02:11   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:02:24   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=723 Y=913
06:02:25 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:02:25 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:02:37   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.132 Y=607.9454
06:02:38 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:02:38 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
06:02:38 **Autoguiding failed.
